23  * The inference history branching rule is based on the average number of deductions obtained after
24  * branching this variable upwards and downwards.
25  * Variables which cause many problem reductions are preferred since they are more likely to drive
26  * the created sub-tree towards infeasibility.
27  * Inference history of the variables is updated during the branch-and-bound search.
28  *
29  * For a more detailed description and a comparison between the inference rule and other branching rules
30  * in SCIP, we refer to
